we all are very upset about being 0-3 - getting rid of players or coaches is NOT the solution

the coaches and players we have, will find a way to get this team back in the race

we are only 2 games back, for crying out loud

P A T I E N C E - Scot & Jay's goal here is to make this franchise better - it will take time they understand the need to change to primarily building through the draft - plus have some luck go their way

I think it ultimately comes down to Haslett simplifying this defense down to the bare bone. Everyone plays man. Occasionally double the hot guy with the free safety.

Honestly yeah simplifying things is the best option. The D isn't the most talented or cohesive bunch. The current schemes seems to complex for them.

Exactly! Seems like 8 out 10 times its a breakdown of communication between the cb and the safety....those short cb zones should be done away with. Dont know how many times ive seen our cbs either expect safety help and stop their coverage in the short zone!

Also clearly your not being competitive against the pass by drifting Fletcher Rak and Kerrigan back so far in their initial stance. Teams seem to be immediatelh audibling to the run and when they are in the nasty nickel (docs walkers nickname haha).

Lastly I seem to know when we are playing gap control run stop by the stance of the 3 interior lineman. They tend to be in tighter. This stance while effective against the run gives no passrush, therefore teams ca. quickly audible to the pass. They also show their cards that their playing the pass when Cofield uses a stance where hes not positioned at 90 degrees but yet at like a 80 degree angle.

This positioning gave up huge holes against the run more specifically the Eagles game, some against the Packers. Wish I had the game film to show.

Teams seem to be immediately audibling to the run and when they are in the nasty nickel (docs walkers nickname haha). So essentially these formations are not working in run nor pass. Only thing seemingly to work better than others is the base d.
